HOT! Festival Moves! An evening of Dance. at Dixon Place

Tiny HurricaneWe love our children. They also destroy us. In Tiny Hurricane, a woman looks the charred wasteland of her pre-partum self dead in the eye, while standing in awe of the luminous, powerful child she has given herself over to. She tells the story of her own destruction through movement, video, and text.Chair DuetChair Duet is a story of two women. They enter carrying their own chairs. They look at the other. They sit. They stand. They reach for the other. They reach away from the other. They are close. They are far. It is relation. It is competition. It is movement conversation. Our work is centered around everyday gesture, unison motion, and repetition. We are playing with ways of meeting and organizing ourselves through rigorous physicality and humor. Excerpt of work in progress: huracn: storm medicinehuracn: storm medicine is a dance altar about translation, queer-light-skinned-Oakland-Boricua-Spanglish-selfhood colliding with the world, and the unseen spirits that guide our steps and trip them, shake us awake and call us home. Featuring video work by Laura Patricia, RA, and Shanti Lalita.
